What the source record says
Site is the shell of the historic 1852 textile mill on the west side of the Tallapoosa River, adjacent to Alabama Power's Thurlow Dam; the property is owned by the Tallassee Redevelopment Authority. Capacity reporting differs: WSFA described a 10 MW project that could grow to 20 MW, while the Tallassee Times reported the developers described a 20 MW facility - the conservative 10 MW figure is recorded. The developers, described as entrepreneurs based in South Carolina and Florida, were not named in either account, so the operator field is a placeholder rather than a verified entity. Developers claimed 15-30 permanent positions. Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap "Tallassee Mills" feature.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-04 · source-reported proposed
Two businessmen expressed interest in buying the 1852 mill property from the Tallassee Redevelopment Authority and converting the mill shell into a data center; the proposal surfaced publicly about two weeks before April 29, 2026.
- 2026-05-18 · source-reported cancelled
Mayor Joey Wiginton and the Tallassee City Council took the data center off the table, with the mayor saying "we don't understand enough about it to make a good decision on it"; he added that developer interest had also diminished.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
